Hi, I have a jsp from which i upload a file. this field is of Formfile type.
jsp entry: <html:form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/pages/deploy-action.do" > <td> <html:file name="deploymentForm" property="theFile" /> </td> <br> <tr> <td> <html:submit onclick="upload()" value="Upload the excel" > </html:submit> </td> </tr> </html:form> I have not used bean:define in the jsp. when i use it,it throws cannot assign null exception. in the struts config xml, entries are present for form - bean but not for its property, i tried entering the property, it did not make a difference I am using the multiform/form-data enctype and also method=post. when i run the page and upload the file and invoke the action class i get the following error. java.lang.NullPointerException at actions.DeployAction.execute(DeployAction.java:139) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(Reques tProcessor.java:419) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.ja va:224) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:119 6) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:432) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Form-Upload-throwing-null-pointer.-cannot-retrieve-the-file-in-action-class..HELP-URGENT%21%21%21-tf3983276.html#a11308662 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
